Dermatologist, Dr. Ilyas Patel's Response

Hi,

I think you may have developed cellulitis on the leg after scratching the lesion, which you had from long time. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to apply antibiotic cream on the areas. Take a course of antibiotic and anti inflammatory drugs after consulting the dermatologist. Keep the leg elevated.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist
